To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE COOK, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of the city of Newark, county of Essex, and State of NewJersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in AdjustableShade-Roller Brackets, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in longitudinally adjustable shaderoller brack- IO ets and more particularly to my former invention forwhich Letters Patent of the United States were issued on December 19,1893, N 0. 510,894.

The object of my invention is to improve upon the said former devicecovered by the Letters Patent just mentioned and to carry forward thesame to a higher degree of perfection in construction and details.

The invention consists in the mechanism hereinafter described andillustrated by the accompanying drawings.

In the said drawings Figure 1 is a plan view of my invention complete.Fig. 2 shows one end of the roller in position with the z 5 bracket.Fig. 3 is an end view of Fig. 2.

A represents the base plate of the bracket,

having perforations g in each end for the reception of the fasteningscrews. The said base plate is provided with longitudinal ribs 0 k oneach side thereof, formed by being upset on the body.

The bracket proper is represented by B. and B. This is a continuousmetallic piece comprising the pivot bearing end B and the 3 5 serratedstrip portion 13.

This bracket proper as distinguished from the base plate is adapted toslide in the track formed by the ribs 10, thus giving the adj ustmentrequired. A gravity pawl d is pivoted 4c on the upper portion of thebase plate which engages with the toothed strip portion of the bracketproper. A cam lever c is pivoted above the said pawl 01 being adapted tohold the latter in locked position when thrown for- 5 ward and torelease the same when thrown backward, that is, in the direction of thearrow shown in Fig. 1. A plate coinciding with bearing portion B of thebracket proper.

thereof s extending through the bearing portion of the bracket proper.

The brackets usually go in parts of rights and lefts and it is generallypreferable to have the roller inserted from the inside of the It canhowever be used from the opposite side if desired.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and thus desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is as follows:

1. A shade roller bracket comprising a base plate having longitudinalribs thereon, the

strip portion adapted to slide in the said base plate, a gravity pawl dengaging with the said strip portion and a cam lever c engaging with thesaid pawl, the bracket proper having its neck or bend narrower than thestrip portion thereof, all substantially as described and for thepurposes set forth.

3. In an adjustable shade roller bracket the combination of a slidingbracket proper having serrated edge, a gravity pawl, and a cam lever allarranged as shown and for the purpose substantially as set forth anddescribed.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing'as my invention I have signed myname, in presence of two witnesses, this 1st day of December, 1893.

I GEORGE 000K.
